i little problem i encountered :/

I just got a new mytouch because i lost my old one :/
last time i did the rooting through the gold card method, now i tried the one click method and it went horribly wrong, i belive i got root, i tried to boot up with a new image but i just stays stuck on the mytouch logo, i can go into fastboot, but when i try to go through fastboot through my computer, the computer doesn't recognize my phone(it doesnt show the serial number) should i install the drives all over again? right now i have i connected to my computer through usb, and it says "fastboot usb".
i have looked though the forums but i didnt find a specific answer, so please if im going to get bombed, all im asking is for a little help.
thanks in advance
ok so..
ok so i fixed my drivers and it detects my phone, but now when i am trying to fastboot it it doesnt let me
you are sure you installed the drivers correctly? can you make it to the recovery screen?
if u try adb devices in cmd using adb from sdk does it give you something like HT9623465? cos that should be fine, also if you're using the sdk try uninstall the driver and then copy the 'usb driver' folder contents from the sdk into the 'tools' folder so everythings in the same place and then refer to that directory for driver installation (windows detects it as android 1.0 device when in fastboot and the drivers are different from normal mode). forgive me if im wrong

Trouble rooting voda magic

I have read and searched but cannot find a solution so kinfd of find posting is the only way.
I have been watching here a while and used this forum to hard spl my wifes htc hd2.
I just got an unlocked vodaphone magic, a 32b, 1.33.0004.
I am following the wiki to root it using method 2 but I cant seem to get the adb driver installed as when typing adb devices I get an empty list. I have looked for usb driver issues and tried them to no avail. I have tried on my 64bit win7 pc and now my wifes 32 bit win 7 with same results.
Can someone help me out as just wanna get rid of all the voda branding and have something more vanilla android.
Cheers
Simon.
simon go on unlckr.com and follow the gold card method exactly i had the same specs and same problem, but it works now
www.theunlockr.com
not unlckr.com just figured you might want the right address if you didnt know
Thanks both will go look now. Its doing my head in. I have adroid composite adb device showing in device manager now but still adb devices show an empty list, but fastboot shows the device.
Adb device id shows if I do the same command while the magic is turned on normally but nothing in fastboot. Very strange so I will go try the method you link to, just hope I dont brick it
Unfortunately I do not have a spare 2gig mcro sd, just the 1 gig in the phone. I am waiting for an 8gig to arrive next week.
Still dont get why the adb devices lists the magic while turned on normally but not in fastboot mode? Just empty list. Been trying since lunch today with this driver for adb and getting it to see it. Gonna go against the wall soon lol.
Nope. Tried every way possible to get adb to see the phone but still empty device list. It says adb is installed in device manager and it lists fastboot devices and shows adb device when phone on normally but not in fastboot so stuck.
Spent about 6 hours lol just trying to get adb installed so not got any further. Shame as the phone is a bit crippled when you cant install progs to the mem card really especially with such a small internal memory.
you wont get abd to work without rooting. Wait for the other 8GB memory and do the goldcard method as described.
after that get in fastboot mode, and test exacly as unlocker.com you'll be fine. i also followed their video
Of course adb works without root!
You problem might be that the Windows actually uses different drivers when the phone is awake, in recovery or in fastboot and you have not set up the right drivers for fastboot!
connect your phone to USB, boot it into fastboot and find it in device manager, from there update the driver...

[Q] Fastboot problem

hello,
I'm hoping someone here can help me sort out my current problem.
I've been trying to root so I can install the latest ICS port, but having problems at the Fastboot screen.
I apologize in advance if some of the references/names I'm using are incorrect.
So, I had originally unlocked my Nexus S sometime early this year. When I restart the phone, the "unlocked" lock picture shows up under the "Google" words, and when I go into fastboot mode, the Lock State is Unlocked.
I'm running 2.3.6 right now on the Tmobile version of the phone.
When the phone is on (not in fastboot mode), I can execute ADB commands and the device is recognized. As soon as I go into fastboot it isn't.
I'm running 64bit Win 7, and I have gone through the various threads that have listed this issue, and installed PDA Net drivers and still there is no solution.
In Fastboot mode, while connected to computer under device manager, it shows up under Universal Serial Bus Controllers as an Unknown Device... I'm unable to update any drivers for it, and even when I try to manually update the drivers by going to the PDANet drivers it does not allow it.
When the phone is on in regular mode in device manager it shows up as Android Phone and within that it has a listing called Android Composite ADB Interface.
As mentioned above, when phone on in regular mode everything is detected.
I installed clockwork app from market, assuming that the phone was "rooted" based on the "unlock state" in fastboot mode, but it immediately says that phone needs to be rooted because it was unable to find SuperUser file etc etc.
I've spent the better part of a few days trying to figure this out by checking all sorts of links, but I haven't found a solution. The main issue is that the phone is not being recognized when in fastboot mode when connected by USB. And I'm unable to install the proper drivers for fastboot mode.
Hopefully this makes sense, and someone can provide some insight.
Thanks in advance!
I'm not positive about this but couldn't you adb push the su binary and apk? I don't own the Nexus but I would think since its unlocked you could just push the files. If this would work I would think it's just a temporary solution to allow superuser permission. As I understand it, fastboot is the preferred method for the Nexus.

Did you try a fastboot command like fastboot devices?
Don't know if this applies to you but I had a similar sounding problem when trying to root my Nexus S where everytime I booted into fastboot mode I had an error message at the bottom of the screen saying something like 'fastboot status-fail Invalid command' and so I couldn't use any fastboot functions.
To get around it I used this one-click root . For some reason I got an error message halfway through for whatever reason and it wouldn't complete the root for me but it booted me into fastboot without receiving the error message and then once I was in I went and rooted manually.
The CWM is out of date on that site though (possibly the super-user zip too) so I replaced them with the latest versions and popped it in my dropbox for you, if you wanna try it out.

Edit: just had a little look through the bat script and the initial commands that got me into fastboot properly is (with your phone in debugging mode):
adb start-server
adb reboot bootloader

Click to collapse
So you could try that first if you wanna go through manually.
Know that you can't run adb command while in fastboot mode. Boot into your CWM and then you can start an adb shell and you'll be able to push all the files you want and execute all the commands you need.
Fastboot mode is for running fastboot indeed. Try 'fastboot devices' while you're in the bootloader and see if devices pop up. If not, you really have to figure out your drivers issue. Maybe remove the device completely from your PC (including driver files) and reinstall it using the PDAnet drivers.

It's either your phone is not working correctly with fastboot usb or your computer.
You can try a live CD of linux/Ubuntu - this might work.
i am screwed too! omg!~
so i killed my phone... sounds like the same thing that happened here... i am praying u find an answer ... cuz i need one too... if anyone has any info they can give me on how to make my htc one s boot... that would be great... i can install rom, well one rom... viperv3.1.3... and it says its successful.... but then i reboot and it just sits there on the boot menu thingie... not even bootlooping just stuck... i dont know too much about how to fix this phone... and idk wat i can do to fix it... you should see the amount of time ive put into tryin to fix it in the last 4 days... omg. i need my phone back ... lol... i was hoping that someone made a backup... as my drive formatted itself and clearly formatted my backup also.... so i can try to just restore it... .is this an option. i hope so .

That is so weird. So you cannot get it to show fastboot usb?? If so, then I don't know what you can do. You need to have communication to restore with RUU. I know some people do JTAG, but considering you can buy a used One S for around $120, it may not be worth fixing. Most people I know charge around $75 for fixes so I may not be even worth it. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can jump in this thread.

It's really strange beacuse with this metod it works a few times , but i hadn't enough time to install the rom
Before you begin with your computer:
- go into recovery
- advanced
- reboot into recovery
If it reboots straightaway, you're ready to go. But it might wait, and offer you to root your phone. Do that, otherwise it won't work!
I would also restart the computer, just for a clean start. I also wiped my phone once again (factory reset).
On your Mac:
- make sure your rom (*.zip) is inside the platform-tools folder (this is inside the android sdk, where adb is)
- your phone should be disconnected and in recovery mode
1. open Terminal
2. type: cd (press space)
3. pull the platform-tools folder onto the terminal, press enter (this is here: /android/sdk/platform-tools)
4. type: ./adb kill-server (enter)
5. type: ./adb usb (enter) -> now it should say that "error: device not found"
6. connect your phone to the computer with the usb
7. type: ./adb devices -> it should show your phone, recovery mode
8. in your phone enter sideload mode (either in advanced, or in install zip option)
9. type: ./adb devices -> check if your phone is connected in sideload mode
10. type: ./adb sideload + <full name of the rom, including .zip, without brackets>
It should work, for me everything went perfectly.

You need to use fastboot commands in the bootloader, not adb.
